[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1493849297' post='3291346'] IMO that would be your second mistake. The EVM is not at all suited to a sealed cab, unless it's being used for guitar. If you must use them, and I only would if I had them on hand, it should be in a ported cab of at least 8 cubic feet. Even then four EVM12s will be limited to a maximum SPL of 126dB at 80Hz. That's all well and good, until you consider two Eminence Kappalite 3012HO in a 4 cu ft cab will do the same. [/quote] This is when it gets technical and confusing to me.

[quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1493845483' post='3291294'] In a nutshell! It's a bit of an old school voice and works well in a three-piece. I've used it with guitar and keys and there it starts to show the need for underpinning the band a little more. It's great in smaller rooms, but on a bigger stage can sound a little thin by comparison to other rigs. The clarity is great though, and fits tonally in the right context. I think sound guys like it too as it doesn't flood the room with lows, although as I type I realise I'm only assuming that. They have told me how cool it is though! One other thought, at volume it must be quite resonant despite the extra bracing I put in- a lightweight head was walking all over the place on it, saved only by the cables through the handles. That probably contributes to the midrange 'fullness', but is worth a mention regardless. [/quote] Looks like I need an empty 412 enclosed cab then. Thanks for the constructive answer. Much appreciated.

[quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1493842640' post='3291257'] I have a 4x12 with Eminence SO2012s in it, with no small thanks for advice to Bill up there! The sound is just what I was after, and it is indeed pretty tight on the lows. The mid punch and quick response are great too! As for blowing the drivers in mine, they will handle 600 watts between them, and I think being in a small sealed box the pocket of air inside helps to control excursion. Guitar drivers will of course tend to have lower power handling and excursion limits, so the degree to which they'll be at risk will depend what you're pushing them with, and how hard. Even with the SO2012s I can see how one might push the cab hard by trying to get it to do things it's not capable of. The same settings as with my ported cabs are much less bassy, so it would be easy to crank lots of power into the box to compensate, especially by turning up the lows. I wanted to be safe by installing sturdy drivers; I think with guitar drivers you can do it, but need to be aware of what the speaker is capable of, and to use it within those limitations. The specs may not be much cop on paper, but in the right situation it can be one beast of a sound! [/quote] So it gives a nice midrange sound but not the boomy botttom sound

No, definitely not for reggae music

I read Steve Harris uses 412 marshall cabs with EV guitar speakers connected ti a bass amp. Is it technically possible to hook up 412 guitar cab to a bass amp without blowing the cab. I know you can blow a bass cab with bass amp etc. I'm not very technical with this so excuse my lack of knowledge. However as far as the cab resistance matches with the amp resistance it should be tickety-boo. Any input on this?

I sacked the same band twice.They carried on playing without me their "ballads". The reason I sacked them is because the songs were about 10-12 mins long with endless guitar solos and about 8 riff changes. They never considered my compositions.

Will have to think hard with this one.

Congrats to the winner.😊

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1493570124' post='3289162'] Here ya go. [/quote] Quality

Interesting how people interpret things they see. I love the sound of Indy's bass and the song itself. There are other excellent songs too.

[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1493447646' post='3288325'] I sometimes do the same, gives a little more sustain and brightness if the track needs it. I use the Darkglass vintage tubes for the drive. [/quote] Makes a massive difference. I use a combination of amp drive with vintage setting and overdrive on my di pedal.

[quote name='acidbass' timestamp='1493423865' post='3288286'] TS808 is your only man [/quote] I own Ibanez tube screamer TS9 new version. It's not bad.

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1493415996' post='3288266'] Just finished 4 hours with flats on my Jazz into my Ampeg and a tube screamer modded for bass. Bloody luverly! 😍 [/quote] Ts9 with bass? I need to give it a go.

Whenever I record bass i add a bit of an overdrive.Just enough to cut through the mix.The overdrive is not noticeable in mix only when the bass is played hard on its own. It acts mire like a booster. To answer your question. Flats sounds awesome with overdrive.

Id love to go down to one bass but all three are used for different styles of playing. The keeper is barely used at the moment.

The band name totally matches the music. Some of it can be repetitive and too long just like post Iron Maiden songs.

Glad someone else posted this. But do you really care what happens when you die, and where you decompose?

My sparkly Royal blue Steve Harris p bass so a daylight on a table at services followed by cash ex change. Not an every day occurance there.

[quote name='barneyg42' timestamp='1493017633' post='3284770'] Tough one this, as soon as we get to the chorus the crowd are rocking, likewise Sex on Fire! I hate SOF but my band are there to entertain so if we get to the second set and it's rocking there's no mileage in throwing something too obscure in. We are playing a couple of originals now but they're in the first half at the moment and are more listening songs. We do try to play slightly different rock stuff but some of the classics are what entertain. We generally finish with What's Up which usually turns into an all pub singing session! The more they dance, the more they drink and everyone's happy, especially the landlord! [/quote] I usually go if I'm in the pub as the out of tune crowd singing is painful. And seeing all those sweaty armpits in the air makes me gag.

As soon as Living on Prayer starts, it's time to go home
